I have business nav, but seem to remember that I came across one of those option conflicts when I tried to select pro nav. I can't remember what the conflict was, but I have logic 7 Hi-Fi, BT, standard climate control, ventilated seats, and a CD changer. I had to let one of those go if I wanted the pro nav.

I find it perfectly adequate for getting from A to B and like all these bells and whistles, you get used to what you have got. I don't have a need for an upgrade because it does exactly what I want it to do. Likewise, many people have criticised the i-drive system, but I find it absolutely brilliant compared to the bank of knobs option preferred by other manufacturers. The only trouble is that it takes a little while to become really fluent through the menus options and this is where the influential car journalists don't have the time. Once you have acquired the skill, it is no more distracting than any other control.

Oh, and the TMC system works perfectly in the UK after a software upgrade. Like everything else with this car it seems, it is only there if you ask for it and get the dealer to find out for themselves, cos they know less than you do after reading this forum!! (See other threads on Automatic folding mirrors, auto memory for the seats and so on)

So, all we need now is MP3 to work! (

Golfnut,

The conflict on our early cars was bluetooth didn't work with pro-nav. This conflict was resolved from July last year I believe.

Awww RATS!!! I ordered mine in July and had delivery in August. Must have missed it by a few days. Never mind, I'm more than happy with what I have. Honest. :bashwall:
